Following the announcement of the 2007 Tony Awards, the cast of Grey Gardens, joined by members of the creative and production team, celebrated the hit musical's 10 nominations in a private reception.

The show received nods for Best Musical, Best Book of a Musical, Best Original Score, Best Direction of a Musical, Best Performance by a Leading Actress in a Musical (Christine Ebersole), Best Performance by a Featured Actress in a Musical (Mary Louise Wilson), Best Orchestrations, Best Scenic Design of a Musical (Allen Moyer), Best Costume Design of a Musical (William Ivey Long), and Best Lighting Design of a Musical (Peter Kaczorowksi).

In addition to stars Ebersole (42nd Street, Dinner at Eight) and Wilson (Cabaret, Full Gallop), Grey Gardens stars John McMartinJohn McMartinJohn McMartinJohn McMartin, Bob StillmanBob StillmanBob StillmanBob Stillman, Matt CavenaughMatt CavenaughMatt CavenaughMatt Cavenaugh, Michael PottsMichael PottsMichael PottsMichael Potts, and Sarah Hyland (all from the Playwrights Horizons production), as well as Broadway newcomer Erin DavieErin DavieErin DavieErin Davie as Young 'Little' Edie Beale, and Kelsey FowlerKelsey FowlerKelsey FowlerKelsey Fowler

The musical features a book by Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award winner Doug Wright (I Am My Own Wife, the play and film Quills), music by Scott Frankel (musical director for Broadway's Falsettos, Putting It Together) and lyrics by Michael Korie (Harvey Milk, Zhivago). Directed by Tony Award nominee and Obie winner Michael Greif (Rent), the production has musical staging by Tony Award nominee Jeff Calhoun (Big River, Grease!).

"Not since Mama Rose and Gypsy has there been a mother/daughter act as hilarious, as heartbreaking and as utterly unforgettable as Edith and Edie Beale - Jackie Kennedy's most outrageous relatives - in Broadway's acclaimed musical smash Grey Gardens.  From the grandeur of an East Hampton high society party in 1941 to the sensational tabloid headlines that rocked the Kennedy clan in 1973, Grey Gardens is scandalously entertaining.  This witty and passionate ride features Christine Ebersole's already-legendary performance and breaks new ground as the first musical ever based on a documentary.  Step into the world of Grey Gardens and see the other side of Camelot," state press notes.
